Old Army vet here. I got my first Air fryer on Amazon today and it scares me more than combat lol... I love your videos They put me at ease..

1. Invest in a good airfryer 2. Do not overcrowd your basket. Best to fill it half. Choose square aifryers or bigger ones. 3. Use oil. The amount and type of oil depends on the food you're cooking. 2:48 Know how and what oil to use. 3:57 4. Rotate or shake your food halfway through. 5. Check the food temperature for best results. 6. Make sure the airfryer is getting enough air/circulation. Keep 5 inches away from the wall when using. Make sure it's elevated from the countertop. 7. Cook fatty foods without oil, put a little bit of water when cooking fatty foods. 8. Always CLEAN after using. How to clean- 7:07 9. You cannot fry wet foods, or foods with wet batter. Pat dry to crispy fry. 10. Adapt recipes. Not all recipes fit the air dryer so make sure to observe and adjust. 11. Use airfryer to reheat leftovers. 12. Use helpful tools. 9:13

@@realvaquero1682 great question... it seems to be the curse of the Philips mingled with fatty food! My philips does the same thing, while my Cosori doesn't. I started putting bread underneath the basket (like in between the pan and the basket) and it helps absorb the grease and minimizes smoke. However, if it's doing white smoke for non greasy/fatty foods, then it could be due to residue in the air fryer from old food?

One of the greatest presentations ever! Very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work

Great video. I just got my instant vortex air fryer today from Amazon. I found out from one instructional video that when you first get your air fryer, you will need to clean out the factory chemicals by putting it on approximately 400° for about 25 minutes. This is great for getting all of the factory smells out. Since I have never used an air fryer before, this is a great video to get started with. Tonight I have a couple of frozen vegetable burgers that I will be putting in the air fryer and hopefully experimenting to find out what the best temperature is to cook them on without burning them up. I don’t mind a little bit crispy, but I have no teeth and use dentures. I like food well done, but not so crispy that you have to cut it with a very sharp steak knife. Thanks again for an awesome video and I will be cooking for vegetarian corn dogs from MorningStar. I am curious to find out how they taste in the air fryer. I am as hungry as a horse tonight. I am even more hungry now than before because I saw some great recipes on here with an air fryer. I’m getting started, so great video and keep the videos coming.

Got an air fryer about 3 months ago. I just ran across your channel today 1-1-24. I can't wait to get caught up.

Really great advice for us Air Fryer neophytes! Thank you!

Yes! Crucial Point Echoed: Use an oil spritzer, NOT spray can oils from the store. Adding your own oil to an oil spritzer will not degrade the coating, which is the #1 complaint of dissatisfied customers. (I read a ton of reviews over a year’s time to really figure out which one I really wanted.) One reviewer worked in chemical manufacturing and knew the chemicals added to the spray can oils. He said it causes the coating on the air fryers to disintegrate. He showed the air fryer he had for two years and there were no chips or peels. I don’t know why the companies do not print this in all caps or have it in their instruction manuals (they have probably determined that the majority will purchase parts or a new air fryer after learning this rather than give up on air fryers. Grr.), but they should. This lady really knows her stuff! The Oil Smoke Points is the other piece of knowledge that anyone cooking at all really needs to know. Different oils smoke at different temperatures. If you cook at a temperature higher than an oil’s smoke point: -you will lose any nutrients you wanted from the oil (ex. Extra Virgin Olive Oil smokes at Medium, around or just above 350. For this reason, I roast my veggies longer, at 325.). -you may end up with scorched food, pans, or fire. Oils with a high smoke point that can be used to cook on High include: Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil (which are imo healthy options), Peanut, Canola.

Thank you for the very useful tips! I also read the comments, but didn't see any about using silicone liners, instead of paper liners, to avoid messy racks. What is your opinion, would you recommend silicone liners or trays in the airfryer?

Good shit Kath. I see a lot of people that buy them then they get scared to use them cuz they think it's like a regular old deep fryer and it's going to make a big blow up mess of oil all over the kitchen. This is an excellent video and a super tutorial on people that really want to take that step and try it

First time purchasing my air fryer and I'm glad I found your channel and joined too. This video is soooooo helpful for first timers like myself, I'm also proud of myself that I did my research and finally got the 5.8 xl cosori which has the shake reminders. Looking forward to unbox and start using. Thank you soooooo much for the tips 😊 🥰

Hi from Aberdeenshire Scotland I have just bought and unboxed the Cosori 5.5 but have not used it as yet. Your video is very very helpful thank you. I am now subscribed to your channel and have hit the bell icon in order to get notified of new uploaded videos. I look forward to binge watching and getting educated in all things air fryer related. Have a lovely day xxx

I just wanted to say you are very good at presenting information. Quick, easy to understand, and your voice matches this type of content well. Aesthetic presentation of the video also looks very professional (colors, editing, etc.).

Wow, thank you!

I just purchased an air fryer but mine looks a lot like a toaster oven and will fit a 12" pizza.(Gourmia brand) I didn't know about other air fryers on the market but I liked the size of this one, it cost a little over $100 but I can do so much with it besides just air frying so glad I got it. but still learning how to cook with it.

I was going to buy the brand that our vlogger suggested but came upon a GoWise A.F. never used for $30. So will try it for now. I am excited about using it. Ty for the all your hard work and time in bringing us these videos. Concise and enjoyable. New sub here.

I got one as a housewarming gift and was pretty confused about how to use it. Thank you!

Hey! Grapeseed oil! Also, a lot of spray bottles nowadays have basically a bag full of the oil inside the bottle, separate from the propellant, or use pressurised air, but HANDS DOWN a refillable oil sprayer is the way to go. Thanks for all the help!

Grapeseed oil is extracted from grape seeds, a byproduct of winemaking. This process usually involves various chemicals, including the toxic solvent hexane.

Id love to see a video going into more detail about the different dishes and accessories to use in an air fryer!

I'm going to guess that you can go on KZread and just type in the different dishes and recipes and you'll come up with probably more than you could ever do in your lifetime. It's amazing what you can find on KZread that you didn't even know you needed information about. Which is kind of fun.

Thank you. I am so glad I found you. I have a small Air Fryer that so far I am intimidated by. Your videos make it seem much less scary. I have such a limited diet due to Celiac and food allergies. Boring world of eating but your videos seem to give me the confidence to try some foods that I can eat. Thanks again.

If you use the parchment liners she mentioned, which I do, make sure you remember to remove it before you preheat the next time. I forgot and the paper will fly up into the elements and burn. Voice of experience here

It’s a great air fryer until it catches fire. Check the recall

I recently got an air fryer. Chefman is a great brand. I can't believe I didn't get one of these sooner. Thanks for the great tips.

Just subscribed! Thank you! I've been using my air fryer for about a year .... and in these 10 min 29 sec, LEARNED SO MUCH! :-)

I really learned a lot from this as an air fryer newbie. Thank you so much!

Hello, I loved your channel. I follow from Brazil. At first I was confused by the temperature In your air fryer 400, but then I realized that you guys use fahrenheit And not celsius. And in your recipes you put the temperature in celsius as well. Thank you very much ♥

Have you tried using the self clean Fritaire? I just switched out my crummy air fryer, Teflon issues, parts separating from the device. Easy to see progress of cooking without opening the door to see and having to restart. Really SILENT in cooking mode. Self cleaning ! Variety of colors to match your decor. A winner worth checking out to see all the features!
